Neal has his suspicions as to who it is. He's still not sure whether he should step in or not. He knows Peter would do something. He's not sure if Peter would step up as a volunteer himself. Neal knows he doesn't want to. Being bitten hurt. It made him feel small, helpless, violated. He's not sure willingness to go through it again would make those feelings go away. Besides, it's not like he owes Elijah. He doesn't even know Elijah. But there are others here the vampire could go after, and that, Neal cares about.
"Putting all of that on one person isn't a long term solution."
It's a step forward, admitting that they might need one. Neal still knows they're going to get home. They're going to get out of here, all of them. But it's starting to look like a matter of weeks instead of days.
